Proximity Sensor and Method For Determining The Proximity To An Electrically Conductive Body - The invention relates to a proximity sensor and a method for determining the proximity to an electrically conductive body. By means of a transmitting arrangement, to this end an alternating magnetic field is transmitted at a selected frequency an alternating magnetic field registered by a receiving arrangement. Moreover, frequencies of the registered alternating magnetic field, which are outside a predefined frequency band comprising the selected frequency and have an amplitude value above a predefined threshold value, are detected by means of a detection means. In a control logic, by means of a blocking circuit, frequencies of a predefined frequency band comprising the detected frequency or a plurality of predefined frequency bands comprising in each case one of the detected frequencies, are defined as blocked frequencies. Moreover, a frequency following the respective selected frequency and different from the selected frequency and the blocked frequencies, denoted hereinafter as the following frequency of the respectively selected frequency, is defined in a selection controller. By means of a time control of the control logic, the following frequency of a selected frequency is continuously selected as a newly selected frequency for a new time window following immediately after or chronologically spaced apart from the selected time window.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DIGITAL DATA TRANSMISSION - An expansion of known serial data links, for example ETHERNET, published in IEEE802.3, for directly transmitting random events without having to carry out synchronization with a clock signal or having to wait for a cyclical transmission time. Two different, random events are represented using two differently coded individual pulses and are transmitted in an event-controlled manner. A jitter-free latency of 45 ns between the event and its reception is possible over a line length of 8 m, for example. The expansion is particularly suitable for the short, digital data links between a node and a plurality of modules, as are required in modern electrical discharge machines, machine tools and similar electronic systems.

Oxygen Supply System For An Aircraft - According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention an oxygen supply system for an aircraft is provided, wherein the said system comprises a control valve, a reservoir bag, a respiration device and a sensor device, wherein the control valve is designed in such a way that oxygen can be supplied to the reservoir bag until a predetermined quantity of oxygen is adjusted in the reservoir bag. The respiration device may be designed in such a way that breathing gas can be provided for a passenger. The sensor device may be designed in such a way that an exhalation is detectable. The reservoir bag may he designed in such a way that a predetermined quantity of oxygen can be metered into the reservoir bag during the exhalation. Moreover the reservoir bag may be designed in such a way that breathing gas can be supplied to the respiration device in a pulse-like fashion. The oxygen supply system may comprise a first operation mode and a second operation mode. Furthermore a method for supplying a passenger with oxygen in an aircraft is provided.
